DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this application is to establish a Regional Community Networks Program known as the Minnesota Community Networks Center to Reduce Cancer Disparities among racial/ethnic minority populations in Minnesota with an initial focus on Minnesota's growing new immigrant and refugee populations using Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. While Minnesota is often perceived to have few minorities, the state's racial/ethnic distribution has changed substantially. Between 1990 and 2008, African Americans in Minnesota grew from 94,944 to 225,648 (138% growth) Latinos grew from 53,884 to 200,736 (273% growth), Asians grew from 77,886 to 180,835 (132% growth), compared to whites who grew from 4,130,395 to 4,559,336 (10% growth). During the same period, the population of foreign-born individuals in Minnesota increased from 260,000 to 340,000. The proposed Center will build on existing statewide cancer prevention and control infrastructure known as Minnesota Cancer Alliance, and on established successful university-community partnerships. In addition to the CNP headquarters at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, the Center will have sites in Willmar (West Central) and Owatonna (Southern), both rural communities in Minnesota. The proposed CNP center will comprise of four cores: Administrative Core, Community Outreach Core, Research Core, and Training Core. The Administrative Core will provide overall leadership and organizational infrastructure for the Center; the Community Outreach Core will collaborate with established partners. New American Community Services (African immigrants) and Centro Campesino (Latino immigrants) increasing community members' awareness of, knowledge about, and access to cervical and breast cancer screening; the Research Core will support one full project (tobacco use) and one pilot research project (cervical cancer screening); the Training Core will prepare a cadre of scientists and health professionals with focus on underrepresented groups across Minnesota to incorporate CBPR into their cancer research and promote their capacity to achieve sustained career success as community-engaged health disparity researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的总体目标是建立一个区域社区网络计划，称为明尼苏达州社区网络中心，以减少明尼苏达州种族/少数民族人口中的癌症差异，最初重点关注明尼苏达州不断增长的新移民和难民人口，采用基于社区的前瞻性研究（CBPR）方法。虽然明尼苏达州通常被认为少数民族很少，但该州的种族/民族分布发生了重大变化。从1990年到2008年，明尼苏达州的非裔美国人从94,944人增加到225648人。（增长138%）拉丁裔从53,884人增长到200736人（增长273%），亚洲人从77，886人增长到180，835人（增长132%），而白人从4，130，395人增长到4，559，336人（增长10%）。在同一时期，明尼苏达州的外国出生人口从260，000增加到340，000。拟议的中心将建立在现有的全州癌症预防和控制基础设施，称为明尼苏达州癌症联盟，并建立成功的大学社区伙伴关系。除了在明尼苏达大学双城分校的CNP总部外，该中心还将在明尼苏达州的两个农村社区Willmar（中西部）和Owatonna（南部）设有站点。拟议的CNP中心将包括四个核心：行政核心，社区外展核心，研究核心和培训核心。行政核心将为中心提供全面领导和组织基础设施;社区外展核心将与既定伙伴合作。新美国社区服务（非洲移民）和Centro Campesino（拉丁美洲移民）提高社区成员对宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查的认识、了解和获得;研究核心将支持一个完整的项目（烟草使用）和一个试点研究项目（子宫颈癌普查）;培训中心将培养一批科学家和卫生专业人员，重点关注明尼苏达州代表性不足的群体，将CBPR纳入他们的癌症研究，并促进他们的作为社区参与的健康差异研究人员，实现持续职业成功的能力。
